Waiting on Weather Witch by Shannon Delany

In a vastly different
and darker Philadelphia of 1844, steam power has been repressed, war
threatens from deep, dark waters, and one young lady of high social
standing is expecting a surprise at her seventeenth birthday party–but
certainly not the one she gets!

Jordan Astraea, who has lived out
all of her life in Philadelphia’s most exclusive neighborhood, is
preparing to celebrate her birthday with friends, family and all the
extravagance they might muster. The young man who is most often her
dashing companion, Rowen Burchette, has told her a surprise awaits her
and her best friend, Catrina Hollindale, wouldn’t miss this night for
all the world!

But storm clouds are gathering and threatening to
do far more than dampen her party plans because someone in the Astraea
household has committed the greatest of social sins by Harboring a
Weather Witch.(Goodreads)

Steampunk Philadelphia? I haven't read too many steampunk books yet, nor many that have chosen a historical Philadelphia as their setting. The idea of a high-society historical Philadelphia meshed with paranormal and steampunk elements sounds interesting to me! I love the cover and I'm very intrigued as to what a weather witch is, and what the implications of harboring one entail.

What are you waiting on?

Amanda loves few things better than sitting down with a cup of tea and a book. She frequently stays up far too late, telling herself she just needs to finish one more page. When she's not wrapped up in the stories of others, Amanda works as a children's librarian in a public library.

I've seen this one around but I'm unsure. I might have to wait to hear your thoughts. The premise is intriguing but it could be just another sub-par (your word again because I like it) book. That author sounds familiar though. :)
